I went a little crazy this weekend in making cards for various challenges. So here goes!!
This card is for two challenges - Ellen Hutson's Mix-It-Up (use EH and Honey Bee products) and The Paper Players (pink, green, silver and white). The flower is EH Mondo Peony loosely watercolored and with Nuvo drops in the center. The sentiment is from Honey Bee - cut from vellum and silver. It's all on a green SU base (I think it's called moss).
I made this card for CAS Mix-Up (watercolor wash, stamping and heat embossing). After doing the peachy watercolor wash, I cut my piece down, stamped the magnolias from Clearly Besotted and embossed with HA copper powder. Added some definition to the flowers with a Prismacolor pencil and copper Nuvo drops and finally added the sentiment.
CAS on Sunday's challenge is to use markers or pencils. I first made my background with the same CB stamp embossed in the Altenew peach. I used Zig markers to lightly color three of the flowers and gave them more color with a Prismacolor pencil. Added the little sentiment and some more Nuvo drops (I'm certainly loving them) and done.
Thanks for looking at this long post and love to read your kind comments.
